Hi guys, I was just wondering if anybody has any tips or suggestions on how to reduce before breakfast BG.
I usually wake somewhere between 6mmol-9mmol but my consultant would like to see lower numbers with a target of 5mmol-6mmol. He has suggested increasing my basal slightly (Tresiba) but I have a strange relationship with my medication and lots of issues around this and an increase always feels like I'm failing somehow so I'd like to explore other options first.
Could I have a longer fasting period to do this where I eat earlier in the evening? Are there certain foods to avoid later in the day, would this help? What kind of levels do people aim to go to bed at?
Any advice welcomed
Hope you're all well!
